Abstract: Clean and affordable supply of energy is one of the goals among the 17 sustainable development goals. In developing nations like India the fast development in clean and sustainable energy would allow creating evaluation of the Integrated Sustainable Energy Model scenarios in the context of energy a win-win situation for ensuring the rural energy security, mitigating the impact of rising fossil-fuel cost on the economy and avoid the negative implications of exhausting natural resources and ensure the rural energy security. Therefore, there is substantial scope for the exploitation of renewable energy technologies in bridging this gap by providing affordable and clean energy to the poor to meet their lighting, cooking, and thermal needs. The huge potential for the renewable energy mainly lies in local projects, so there’s need to adopt bottomup energy modelling approaches. Energy modelling at block level is highly influential rather than modelling for one village as the block consists of approximately 80-90 villages. Hence the current study emphasizes on energy planning and scenarios modelling for Gadhinglaj block which consists of 93 villages using Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning system (LEAP) tool. The main objective of the study is to develop Integrated Sustainable Energy Model scenarios for Gadhinglaj block also requirement, Social cost and benefit, and their environmental impact. Survey method is used to collect the data. The main output of this research is the development of alternative renewable energy options under different conditions for Gadhinglaj up to 2030.
